Ingredients

Scale

Cake Ingredients

  • 250g unsalted butter
  • 100ml thickened cream
  • 395g can caramel Top ‘n Fill
  • 1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
  • 300g Caramilk or white chocolate
  • 3 eggs, lightly whisked
  • 1 1/4 cup self-raising flour
  • 1 cup plain flour

Caramel Ganache Icing

  • 300g Caramilk or white chocolate, finely chopped
  • 200ml thickened cream
  • 50g butter
  • Caramel sauce, to drizzle

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 150°C to prepare for baking the caramel mud cake.
  2. Prepare cake tin: Grease a 22cm cake tin and line the base and sides with baking paper to prevent sticking.
  3. Melt ingredients: In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter, thickened cream, caramel Top ‘n Fill, brown sugar, and chocolate. Stir continuously until the chocolate is fully melted and the mixture is smooth. Allow to cool slightly.
  4. Mix in eggs and flour: Whisk the eggs lightly then add them to the cooled caramel mixture. Sift self-raising and plain flour together and fold gently through the caramel mixture until just combined.
  5. Bake the cake: Pour the batter into the prepared cake tin. Bake for 30 minutes, then loosely cover the cake with foil and continue baking for another 30 minutes or until a skewer inserted comes out almost clean.
  6. Cool the cake: Allow the cake to cool in the tin for 15 minutes. Then carefully turn it out onto a wire rack and cool completely.
  7. Prepare the icing: Melt the finely chopped chocolate, thickened cream, and butter in a microwave-safe bowl for 60–90 seconds. Stir until the mixture is smooth and combined. Refrigerate for at least one hour until cold, then whisk until pale and fluffy.
  8. Decorate the cake: Spread the caramel ganache icing over the cooled cake evenly. Drizzle caramel sauce over the top for an extra touch of sweetness.

Notes

  • Make sure to line and grease the cake tin well to avoid sticking.
  • Do not overmix the flour into the batter to keep the cake light and moist.
  • If Caramilk chocolate is unavailable, substitute with a good-quality white chocolate.
  • Allow the icing to chill completely before whipping to achieve the right texture.
  • Use a skewer to test doneness; it should come out almost clean but not completely dry for optimal moistness.
